The acting Premier of Queensland claims the Victorian lockdown âprobablyâ would not have happened if there was a dedicated national quarantine system.
Queensland will close its borders to greater Melbourne from 1am on Saturday after Victoria announced a âhammer-styleâ five-day lockdown to deal with the growing cluster of coronavirus cases linked to the Holiday Inn.
Acting Premier Steven Miles, who is also Queenslandâs acting Health Minister, said he was not surprised the virus had breached quarantine in Melbourne, as it had done recently in Brisbane and Perth.
